coconut oil is supposed to be high in MCT's which supply the body with energy. I stay away from it though because it is very high in saturated fat(92%) and i get enough through the other foods i eat. A plus about it, is that it is supposed to help regulate the thyroid

Unlike most satty fats it is low in cholesterol though.

Only the unprocessed form of coconut oil is beneficial, the processed type is liquid evil.
